Client Success Story #5 | AI Agent Startup

Aidan Tsai, co-founder & CEO at an AI-agent Stealth Startup, was rapidly approaching the MVP stage. With the team focused heavily on back-end and AI model development, they quickly realized their front-end capabilities had become outdated. Finding a top-tier front-end expert became critical, not just to meet deadlines, but also to ensure the MVP's success.

After struggling with traditional hiring channels that yielded quantity over quality, Aidan turned to GitRoll for a smarter, data-driven solution.

Within just under 2 weeks of posting on Wellfound, Aidan's team received over 800 resumes—500 of which included GitHub profiles. Traditional methods would require at least 5 minutes per resume just for a surface-level screening, which already adds up to over 66 hours. But a meaningful technical evaluation of each GitHub repo? That takes a minimum of 20 minutes per candidate—amounting to over 160 hours total just to manually understand candidate skill trees, strengths, and preferences 🫠

GitRoll eliminated that burden entirely.

Instead of drowning in noise, GitRoll delivered fewer, highly targeted candidate choices—each backed by in-depth technical analysis. The real "wow" moment came during a deep dive session with GitRoll's founder, Ray Kuo. By clicking into a sub-dashboard, Ray demonstrated meticulous evaluations of each candidate's technical projects. For example, one candidate had misconfigured database security settings, prompting Ray's insightful observation: "He might not be as polished if you're expecting him to contribute to backend tasks as well."

This granular, data-driven analysis gave Aidan exceptional clarity and confidence under the pressure of finding the right talent quickly. GitRoll didn't just show who was strong—it showed why they were strong or weak, with detail that would be nearly impossible to replicate internally.

Ultimately, GitRoll's precision-driven approach significantly boosted the startup's productivity. Aidan secured an exceptional front-end developer—one who excelled technically, communicated clearly, and possessed a strong startup mindset—after just few rounds of interviews 🙌🏻

"GitRoll saved me at least 100 hours of guesswork and provided insights beyond my expectations. It's not just time saved; it's clarity and confidence in our hiring decisions." — Aidan Tsai, Co-founder & CEO @ AI Agent Stealth Startup
